Department of Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering aims to
produce engineers who are academically competent and posses a sound and
balanced Islamic personality ready to face the challenges of the 21st
century.

The Department offers programmes in Aerospace and Automotive
Engineering. Students registered for the programmes undergo a common
first year with courses in Calculus, Computer Programming, Electrical
and Electronics Technology, Drawing, Engineering mechanics, Workshop
Technology and Islamic science.

From the second year, students in each of the two areas take courses
suitable to their programme along with courses in Islamic studies and
management. In the final year of their four year programme, students can
opt for three elective courses to suit their areas of specialization.

Students in the Aerospace Engineering programme study, among other courses, Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Aircraft Structures, Aircraft Design, Spacecraft Dynamics and Control, as well as a final year project. There are also a variety of specialist courses in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Automatic Flight Control Systems, and Flight Testing.

In the Automotive Engineering programme, students study a variety of courses including the Theory of Machines, Automotive Instrumentation, Automotive Structures, Internal Combustion Engines, Automotive Structural Design as well as a final year project. Students can also choose from several other specialist courses, such as Composite Materials, Vehicle Aerodynamics, Automotive Styling, Vibration and Harshness, and Design Optimization.
